I am a social worker and therapist focusing on women’s & maternal mental health. I serving all of Ohio virtually and in person the Cleveland, Ohio area including Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, and parts of Ashtabula, Portage & Summit Counties. I also provide emotional, & informational support to mothers, their partners and their families during pregnancy and postpartum. I help prepare families for all types of births, natural or medicated, hospital or home birth. Your birth, your choice. I believe access to mental health, perinatal education, support and informed health care is a right, not a privilege. I am an advocate for mental health, education, women, babies, all families, and informed birthing. I have spent my entire career working with mothers and families as a health and sexuality educator, teen parent educator and mentor, birth doula, childbirth educator and now a therapist focusing on perinatal mental health.

“I love my baby! I love our relationship! I love being a new mom…but... something is off”.... Do you feel uncertain at times if motherhood is for you? Do you get down because reality is different from your expectations? Are you exhausted, physically and mentally? Do you find you’re often questioning yourself? What if people can tell I’m feeling this way? Will this feeling ever go away? Am I a bad mom? This can be frustrating and sometimes scary, but these feelings are very common. You are not alone. Your feelings are valid. Your mental well-being is important. You don’t have to trudge through this alone. Let’s work together to help you feel like an updated version of your old self. As a therapist with over 20 years experience as a doula, parent educator, and mother of four, I can offer you one on one sessions via telehealth or in peaceful outdoor walk and talk settings to provide a safe space for processing, skill building, and restoring your confidence in yourself and your mothering capabilities.
